retrofit your headlights with some nice projectors and stay HID.

that sounds expensive....

No fucks given.
Then you should probably stay halogen... Reflector housings aren't made for HIDs/LEDs, and will scatter the light, blinding other people on the road.
Think of every big douchebag pickup truck that's blinded you from behind...

its not expensive. I think i was 300 or so all in for my 4runner's retrofit and i did my integra for around 200.

No, but it's far from short :lol:
Solid 2.5-3ft off the ground, and those lightning lights are bright as fuck
...plus I always drive with my fogs on :rolf:

I like Hondas
Don't integras come with projector style from the factory?

Thanks guys. Yes. I have an RSX. You're right I would need to do some projectors if I want to do it correctly. Do you guys suggest a retrofit or just buy a full assembly already pre-made?
Sorry for the crazy questions and thanks for the input!
haha Love the truck comments. You might as well put a light bar in your grille!

Ya know, my lights are already pretty bright, but I could always use some more to fill in some dark areas :lol:

Ill would do the following:
inspect your headlights, are your lenses gouged, tabs broken etc. If they are scour Ebay for a nice set, clean lenses or whatever you need. Make sure the part you want (lens, or housing is in perfect condition). This way you can have a super clean set of headlights and two projector housings if you mess up .https://www.theretrofitsource.com/ is where you are going to spend a lot of money. like ALOT. But its so worth it.
Option 1: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/universal-kits/bi-xenon-mini-stage-3-kit-d2s.html#.V63vXE0rLRY
this is a basic retrofit kit, pick your options. The projectors are good. I run them in my 4runner DD/tow vehicle.
Option 2: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/universal-kits/bi-xenon-fx-r-stage-iii-kit.html#.V63vlk0rLRY
these projectors are pretty good. They are an upgrade for the Morimoto projector. A lot of people will go to these if they are unhappy with the basic morimoto set up.
Option 3: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/universal-kits/low-beam-lexus-tsx-s2000-stage-iv-retrofit-kit.html?preselect=47820,47691,47303,47273,47338#.V63v0k0rLRY
This is going to be the most expensive option but the ABSOLUTE BEST OPTION. Upgrade the projectors to Honda S2000 (arguably the best projector if you have a seprate high beam). Like its the shit. Use a waterproofed ballast, and i prefer denso and phillips for the brands.
And make sure you buy the retro rubber. It replaces the glue when you separate the headlight. I didnt use it the first time and my headlights fogged. No issue after resealing with the retro rubber - You dont have to scrape off the old glue, just throw the retro rubber into the glue channel, bake and press together.
